INTRODUCTORY 


The  University  of  Maine  is  divided  for  administration  pur- 
poses into  five  groups, — the  College  of  Agriculture,  the  College 
of  Arts  and  Sciences,  the  Maine  Agricultural  Experiment  Sta- 
tion, the  College  of  Law,  and  the  College  of  Technology. 

The  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  is  that  division  of  the  Uni- 
versity which  corresponds  to  the  usual  college.  It  confers  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  upon  students  who  complete  the 
curricula  made  up   from  its  various  departments. 

Like  the  typical  New  England  college,  it  places  especial 
emphasis  upon  the  obtaining  of  an  education  for  its  own  sake 
rather  than  for  practical  considerations.  There  are,  however, 
certain  callings  and  professions  for  which  a  training  in  a  college 
like  this  admirably  prepares  the  student.  In  the  first  place,  it  is 
the  ideal  training  for  a  business  man  who  does  not  expect  to 
enter  upon  work  of  a  technical  character.  Students  who  select 
their  major  subject  in  the  department  of  Economics  and  group 
around  this  department  courses  in  English,  history,  languages, 
and  sciences,  get  an  ideal  training  for  a  business  career.  In 
the  second  place,  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  a  student 
may  so  arrange  his  curriculum  as  to  save  a  year's  work  in 
many  of  our  professional  schools.  A  collegiate  degree  is  com- 
ing more  and  more  to  be  demanded  for  admission  to  schools  of 
medicine,  law,  and  theology.  Students  who  have  taken  a  well 
rounded  curriculum  of  studies  in  a  collegiate  institution  and 
have  supplemented  this  with  a  special  course  in  their  chosen 
subject  are  vastly  better  fitted  for  their  profession  than  are 
those  who  have  omitted  the  college  training.  In  the  third  place, 
the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  especially  through  its  depart- 
ment of  Education,  prepares  students  for  teaching  and  for  the 
position  of  superintendent  of  schools.    The  call  for  well  trained 


12  COLLEGE    OF    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 

teachers  is  increasing  from  year  to  year  and  the  University 
could  place  many  more  teachers  than  it  has  available  for  posi- 
tions. It  is  hoped  that  students  who  are  looking  for  an  oppor- 
tunity to  train  themselves  for  teaching  will  give  careful  con- 
sideration to  the  opportunities  afforded  by  the  University  of 
Maine.  Again,  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  has  arranged 
its  courses  with  a  view  of  meeting  the  needs  of  women  students. 
On  its  faculty  are  two  women,  one  holding  the  title  of  pro- 
fessor and  the  other  of  assistant  professor. 

It  is,  however,  a  primary  aim  of  a  college  like  this  to  impress 
upon  its  students  the  desirability  of  obtaining  an  education  for 
its  own  sake  without  regard  to  the  relation  it  may  have  to  their 
subsequent  work,  or  to  the  pecuniary  advantages  which  it  may 
bring.  In  recent  years,  this  aspect  of  education  has  in  some 
quarters  been  seriously  neglected.  The  over  emphasis  of  voca- 
tional training  has  given  rise  to  the  feeling  that  a  college  course 
must  be  tested  by  its  ability  to  train  students  for  specific  life 
work. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  intrinsic  value  of  an  education  is 
the  best  argument  in  its  favor.  The  ability  to  appreciate  what- 
ever is  good  and  beautiful  and  true  in  the  world  around  us 
may  be  suggested  as  a  definition  of  culture.  Side  by  side  with 
the  power  of  appreciation  comes  the  benefit  of  the  mental  train- 
ing which  one  obtains  in  a  college  like  this.  That  student,  then, 
may  be  considered  educated  who  has  secured  such  an  intellec- 
tual equipment  as  will  enable  him  to  do  his  share  in  solving  the 
problems  with  which  he  has  to  deal,  and  to  get  true  pleasure 
from  the  environments  of  nature  and  art  with  which  he  is  sur- 
rounded. From  this  point  of  view,  many  subjects  in  the  col- 
lege curricula  which  do  net  immediately  fit  the  student  to  earn 
a  livelihood  are  the  subjects  for  which  he  will  be  most  grateful 
in  after  life. 

HISTORICAL    SKETCH 

The  University  of  Maine  owes  its  existence  to  an  act  of 
Congress,  approved  July  2,  1862,  which  provided  for  instruc- 
tion in  "such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related  to  agriculture 
and  the  mechanic  arts,"  and  in  military  tactics,  "without  exclud- 
ing other  scientific  and  classical  studies." 


HISTORICAL     SKETCH  1 3 

The  Legislature  of  Maine  accepted  the  provisions  of  the  act 
of  Congress  in  a  resolve  approved  March  25,  1863,  and  estab- 
lished a  Board  of  Trustees  to  act  for  the  State  in  the  manage- 
ment of  the  affairs  of  the  institution  it  created  in  an  act  ap- 
proved February  25,  1865.  This  act,  after  providing  for  in- 
struction in  "such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related  to  agri- 
culture and  the  mechanic  arts,"  and  in  military  tactics,  further 
directed  that  "Such  other  studies  are  to  be  taught,  within  the 
limitations  of  the  act  of  Congress,  as  the  facilities  of  the  col- 
lege and  the  periods  of  instruction  will  permit /' 

The  trustees  and  faculty  of  the  institution,  after  its  open- 
ing in  1868,  in  order  to  carry  out  the  purposes  of  Congress 
and  the  directions  of  the  State  Legislature  as  fully  as  was  pos- 
sible at  that  time,  outlined  four  curricula, — Agriculture,  Civil 
Engineering,  Mechanical  Engineering,  and  Elective.  The  name 
of  the  last  was  changed  in  1876  to  Science  and  Literature,  as 
better  representing  its  scope  and  purpose,  and  the  College  of 
Arts  and  Sciences  is  the  result  of  its  gradual  development. 

The  first  class  to  graduate  from  the  institution  numbered 
six,  of  whom  two  completed  the  Elective  curriculum,  and  from 
that  time  to  the  present  a  fair  proportion  of  the  students  have 
pursued  lines  of  work  that  fall  within  the  sphere  of  that  divis- 
ion of  the  University  now  designated  as  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences. 

The  income  of  the  institution  was  materially  increased  by 
an  act  of  Congress,  approved  August  30,  1890,  which  made 
possible  a  decided  improvement  in  its  facilities  for  instruction. 
This  was  followed  by  a  rapid  increase  in  the  student  body  and 
a  demand  from  it  for  new  departments  of  instruction  and  the 
addition  of  new  courses  to  those  already  existing. 

The  name  of  the  Science  and  Literature  curriculum  was 
changed  in  1893  to  Scientific,  and  at  the  same  time  a  variant 
called  the  Preparatory  Medical  was  outlined.  A  Latin  Scien- 
tific curriculum  was  arranged  in   1896. 

The  development  of  the  general  work  of  the  institution 
brought  about  a  controversy  in  the  State  Legislature  of  1897 
over  the  policy  it  should  follow.  This  resulted  in  the  change  of 
name  from  "State  College  of  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic 
Arts"  to  the  University  of  Maine,  and  the  broadening  of  the 
scope  and  the  raising  of  the  standard  of  the  institution.  The 
same  Legislature  made   more   liberal   provision   for  support  of

the  University  than  had  previously  been  accorded  it  and  ex- 
tended this  over  a  period  of  years.  The  change  of  name  and 
more  liberal  support  by  the  State  were  followed  by  a  continued 
increase  in  the  student  body  and  further  demands  from  it  for 
additional  courses  and  departments,  for  which  the  establish- 
ment, in  1899,  of  the  Classical  curriculum  was  designed  to  pro- 
vide. 

The  name  "Elective"  was  inaccurate  in  that  the  curriculum 
was  really  a  prescribed  one.  The  principle  of  prescribed  cur- 
ricula was  continued  until  1902,  when  the  major  system  was 
adopted.  Under  this,  each  student  selected  one  department 
in  which  he  pursued  courses  amounting  to  not  less  than  five 
hours  a  week  for  three  or  four  years ;  the  remainder  of  his 
work  was  elected,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  head  of  the 
department  in  which  he  had  chosen  his  major.  This  system 
continued  until  the  general  revision  of  the  requirements  for 
admission  and  graduation  which  is  described  in  this  bulletin 
was  adopted  in   1911. 

Graduates  of  the  Elective,  Science  and  Literature,  Scientific, 
and  Preparatory  Medical  curricula  received  the  degree  of  B.  S. ; 
graduates  of  the  Latin-Scientific  curriculum  that  of  B.  Ph.,  and 
those  of  the  Classical  curriculum  that  of  B.  A.  The  Latin- 
Scientific  curriculum  was  discontinued  in  1903,  when  the  re- 
quirements for  the  Classical  curriculum  were  modified  by  sub- 
stituting one  ancient  language  for  the  two  previously  demanded. 
The  names  Classical,  Scientific,  and  Preparatory  Medical  were 
definitely  discontinued  in  1906,  as  there  was  no  occasion  for 
them  under  the  major  system. 

The  degree  of  B.  S.  was  discontinued  in  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences  after  1909,  when  the  University  of  Maine  adopted 
the  policy  already  in  vogue  in  many  leading  state  universities, 
as  well  as  in  other  prominent  institutions,  by  which  the  degree 
is  granted  only  to  those  who  complete  a  specialized  technical 
training,  as  in  the  Colleges  of  Agriculture  and  Technology, 
while  the  B.  A.  degree  is  granted  to  all  who  complete  the  gen- 
eral requirements  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

Women  have  been  admitted  to  the  University,  by  direction 
of  the  State  Legislature,  since  1872,  thus  making  its  policy  con- 
form to  that  of  similar  institutions  in  other  states.  Practically 
all  the  women  who  came  to  the  University  up  to  the  outlining 


1 6  COLLEGE    OF    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 

of  the  Domestic  Science  curriculum  in  the  College  of  Agri- 
culture, in  1909,  have  followed  the  lines  of  work  carried  on  in 
the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  as  a  considerable  majority 
of  them  still  do.  During  the  college  year  1911-12  they  con- 
stitute about  eight  per  cent,  of  its  undergraduate  membership. 

The  facilities  for  instruction  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sci- 
ences are  equal  to  those  provided  in  the  other  colleges  of  the 
University.

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  GRADUATION 

The  work  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  leads  to  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  (B.  A.).  The  curriculum  demands 
a  25  credit  course  and  is  regularly  completed  in  four  years ; 
but  a  student  of  exceptional  preparation  and  application  may 
complete  the  requirements  in  three  years.  Students  fitting 
themselves  for  professional  or  technical  schools  are  often  en- 
couraged to  do  this,  but  prospective  teachers  are  advised  to 
spend  four  years  on  their  college  course. 

No  outline  of  the  curricula  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sci- 
ences is  given  in  this  bulletin  or  the  catalog,  but  students 
may  have  such  an  outline  presented  to  them  by  applying  to  the 
professor  in  charge  of  the  department  in  which  they  are  inter- 
ested. Groups  of  studies  may  be  made  up  which  would  be  desir- 
able for  students  intending  to  prepare  for  teaching,  or  to  enter 
upon  the  study  of  law,  medicine,  or  theology.  To  meet  the 
needs  of  students  desiring  a  year  of  college  work  for  admission 
to  a  medical  school,  a  schedule  of  subjects  has  been  outlined. 
These  include:  Biology  1;  Chemistry  1,  2,  3,  4;  English  4,  5; 
French  or  German  3a,  3b;  Military  Science  1.

At  least  three-fifths  of  the  work  must  be  done  in  the  major 
subject. 

All  of  the  work  must  be  of  advanced  grade  and  must  be 
tested  by  examinations  which  the  candidate  must  pass  with 
distinction. 

The  candidate  shall  prepare  as  a  part  of  his  course  of  study 
a  satisfactory  thesis  on  some  topic  connected  with  his  major 
subject  which  may  count  for  not  more  than  three  of  the  re- 
quired fifteen  hours. 

THE  DEPARTMENTS 

Biological  Chemistry  and  Geology 

In  nearly  every  problem  which  confronts  the  student  of 
organic  nature,  chemistry  plays  an  essential  part.  In  fact,  life 
itself  implies  metabolism  and  is  maintained  only  by  a  nicely 
adjusted  balance  between  the  synthetic  and  analytic  processes 
taking  place  in  every  living  cell.  It  is  necessary,  therefore, 
that  the  student  who  concerns  himself  in  any  but  the  most 
superficial  manner  with  biological  subjects  should  acquaint  him- 
self as  far  as  possible  with  the  chemical  processes  involved. 
Some  of  the  most  striking  of  the  recent  achievements  of  medi- 
cine have  been  reached  through  chemical  research.  The  theory 
of  toxins  and  antitoxins  and  its  application  in  serum-therapy 
rests  on  a  chemical  basis.  Agriculture  is  indebted  in  an  equal 
degree  to  chemistry,  and  the  long  accepted  theory  that  the  fer- 
tility of  the  soil  consists  chiefly  in  the  abundance  of  plant  food 
present  is  rapidly  giving  way  to  the  conviction  that  the  problem 
is  not  purely  chemical,  but  biochemical,  involving  reciprocal 
relations  between  the  growing  crops  and  the  countless  micro- 
organisms in  the  soil. 

Biological  chemistry  is  the  chemistry  of  plant  and  animal 
life.  Beginning  with  the  sources  from  which  the  plant  draws 
its  nourishment,  it  traces  the  cycle  of  each  element  concerned 
in  life  processes  from  the  air  and  soil,  through  the  plant  and' 
animal,  back  to  the  soil  and  air.  It  includes  the  composition 
of  vegetable  and  animal  products,  plant  and  animal  foods,  the 
chemistry  of  digestion  and  assimilation,  secretion  and  excretion, 
and  general  metabolism. 


DEPARTMENTS  3 1 

Two  courses  are  offered  in  this  study.  In  the  first,  the  sub- 
ject is  presented  in  the  form  of  lectures.  The  second  is  a  lab- 
oratory course,  following  that  already  outlined,  but  designed  to 
give  the  student  a  more  intimate  knowledge  of  the  materials 
and  processes  already  studied  in  the  classroom.  Especial  at- 
tention is  given  to  those  organic  products  which  are  used  as 
foods,  their  relative  value  as  such,  and  their  behavior  toward  the 
digestive  enzymes.  In  the  study  of  animal  tissues,  fresh  mate- 
rial is  supplied  as  far  as  possible. 

Geology  is  taught  only  in  its  dynamical,  structural,  and  phy- 
siographical  aspects,  including  a  study  of  the  forces  through 
the  operation  of  which  the  earth  has  arrived  at  its  present  con- 
dition ;  the  materials  of  which  the  earth's  crust  is  composed, 
together  with  their  arrangement;  and  an  inquiry  into  the  history 
of  the  present  features  of  the  earth's  surface.  For  this  work 
there  is  available  a  good  collection  of  rock-forming  minerals ; 
a  microscope  and  a  collection  of  over  two  hundred  thin  sections 
of  rocks  and  minerals;  a  stereopticon  and  several  hundred 
slides ;  and  a  series  of  typical  rocks  with  the  corresponding 
residual  soils.  Further  facilities  are  offered  by  the  mineralogi- 
cal  and  geological  museum  in  Coburn  Hall,  to  which  the  stu- 
dent has  at  all  times  ready  access. 

Biology 

This  department  occupies  about  half  of  Coburn  Hall,  which 
affords  space  for  the  Natural  History  Museum  as  well  as  the 
laboratories,  lecture  room,  and  offices  of  the  department.  Two 
large  rooms  are  exclusively  devoted  to  the  Museum,  which  in- 
cludes several  groups  of  native  animals  such  as  deer,  raccoons, 
and  partridges,  as  well  as  the  classified  collections  of  animals 
and  plants.  Besides  three  general  laboratories  there  is  a  special 
one  for  work  in  animal  and  plant  physiology,  situated  within 
easy  reach  of  the  biological  greenhouse.  The  department  is 
provided  with  various  charts  and  models  for  illustrative  pur- 
poses, and  has  access  to  a  collection  of  over  one  thousand  lan- 
tern slides  which  are  rendered  available  by  a  good  projection 
lantern.  It  is  in  addition  well  equipped  with  microscopes,  hav- 
ing nearly  fifty  first-class  instruments. 

Biology — the  science  of  life — deals  with  facts  of  so  funda- 
mental a  kind  that  it  is  regarded  as  a  necessary  foundation  for 


$2  COLLEGE  OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES 

work  in  education,  sociology,  and  psychology,  as  well  as  agri- 
culture and  forestry,  and  may  be  considered  an  essential 
feature  of  a  liberal  education.  The  course  in  general  biology 
(course  i  )  is  the  gateway  to  all  the  other  courses  offered  by 
the  department,  and  may  be  elected  by  students  in  the  College 
of  Arts  and  Sciences  to  fulfill  the  requirement  in  science  and 
mathematics.  It  is  designed  to  give  by  class-room  and  labora- 
tory work  a  training  in  the  broad  features  of  structure  and 
function  in  animal  and  plant  life,  and  includes  discussion  of 
fundamental  topics,  such  as  elovution,  and  practical  subjects, 
such  as  bacteria,  parasitic  worms,  and  human  physiology.  This 
course  may  be  followed  by  the  more  advanced  work  in  botany 
and  zoology,  in  either  of  which  branches  a  student  may  spe- 
cialize. If  botany  is  selected,  the  courses  should  be  taken  in  the 
following  order:  plant  histology  (To),  plant  physiology 
(ii),  plant  ecology  (15),  heredity  or  principles  of  breed- 
ing (18),  advanced  botany  (12);  and  the  courses  in  forest 
botany  (17)  and  plant  pathology  (16)  may  be  elected  by 
others  than  forestry  students.  On  the  zoological  side  the 
courses  naturally  follow  in  about  the  following  sequence:  ver- 
tebrate zoology  (2),  animal  histology  (3),  embryology  (4), 
heredity  or  principles  of  breeding  (18),  entomology  (8), 
physiology  (5),  advanced  zoology  (7).  The  last  named 
course  and  that  in  advanced  botany  consist  of  work  specially 
suited  to  the  needs  of  the  individual  student,  who  may  be  look- 
ing forward  to  medicine,  teaching,  Experiment  Station  work, 
or  ether  occupations  for  which  biology  is  a  preparation. 

Chemistry 
The  department  of  Chemistry  is  housed  in  Fernald  Hall. 
The  laboratory  for  advanced  work  is  on  the  main  floor  of  the 
building  and  here  are  also  two  offices  of  the  department,  a  lec- 
ture room,  and  balance  room.  The  second  floor  is  largely  given 
over  to  freshman  work,  the  main  lecture  room  being  also  on 
this  floor.  The  third  floor  is  occupied  by  the  classes  in  qualita- 
tive analysis,  organic  laboratory,  and  mineralogy.  In  the  base- 
ment are  stock  rooms  and  special  laboratories  for  assaying, 
analysis  of  water,  gas,  and  fuel,  organic  analysis,  and  physical 
chemistry.  Here  are  located  the  stills  for  the  preparation  of 
pure  water  and  absolute  alcohol. 


DEPARTMENTS  33 

The  departmental  library  is  located  on  the  main  floor.  The 
books  used  less  often  and  all  except  a  few  of  the  journals  are 
kept  at  the  university  library.  The  collection  has  recently 
been  made  more  valuable  by  the  purchase  of  complete  sets  of 
the  Berichte  der  deutschen  chemischen  Gesellschaft  and  of 
Meyer's  Jahrbuch  der  Chemie.  The  well  equipped  library  of 
the  Maine  Experiment  Station  is  also  accessible.  A  good  ref- 
erence library  is  an  invaluable  asset  in  conducting  chemical 
study  properly  and  it  is  the  aim  of  the  department  to  make  this 
as  complete  as  it  can.  The  student  is  encouraged  in  the  habit 
of  reference  reading,  especially  in  the  German  and  French  jour- 
nals. A  reading  knowledge  of  these  languages,  particularly 
German,  is  an  essential  part  of  a  chemist's  education.  It  may 
be  mentioned  here  that  those  who  have  not  studied  German 
before  entrance  take  a  course  in  beginning  German  in  the  fresh- 
man year  and  follow  it  in  the  sophomore  year  by  a  short  course 
in  scientific  German. 

In  the  hall  of  the  first  floor  of  the  building  is  a  series  of  cases 
exhibiting  about  a  thousand  of  the  rarer  preparations,  half  of 
which  have  been  made  by  former  students,  a  pleasant  reminder 
of  those  who  have  gone  out  and  an  inspiration  to  those  who 
come.  This  museum  enables  the  department  to  keep  on  hand 
some  of  the  rarer  materials  for  occasional  use,  besides  being 
convenient  for  lecture  work.  The  department  has  also  a  large 
collection  of  dye-stuffs  and  of  products  of  the  chemical  indus- 
tries, valuable  for  purposes  of  instruction. 

The  equipment  of  the  laboratory,  particularly  for  physical 
and  analytical  chemistry,  has  lately  been  much  improved  by  the 
addition  of  new  apparatus,  such  as  a  high  grade  Schmidt  and 
Hantsch  three  field  polariscope,  Pulfrich  refractometer,  Zeiss 
dipping  refractometer,  combustion  furnaces,  etc.  Attention  is 
called  to  the  use  made  of  modern  electrical  laboratory  devices 
in  analytical  chemistry.  It  is  desired  to  give  the  student  a 
familiarity  with  the  use  of  electrical  furnaces,  drying  ovens, 
thermostats,  and  electrical  devices  in  general.  Of  particular 
interest  are  two  combustion  furnaces,  one  a  modern  Heraeus 
electrical  furnace,  the  other  for  combustions  by  the  Dennstedt 
catalytic  or  platinum  contact  method. 

The  aim  of  the  work  of  the  department  is  to  give  the  student 
a  broad  and  firm  foundation  in  the  knowledge  of  the  principles 


34  COLLEGE    OF    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 

of  chemistry  and  to  fix  these  thoroughly  in  his  mind  by  a  rela- 
tively large  amount  of  laboratory  practice.  In  this  way  it  is 
hoped  not  only  to  give  to  the  student  the  cultural  training  that 
lies  in  a  subject  touching  life  at  so  many  points  as  chemistry, 
but  also  to  develop  as  far  as  possible  the  more  immediate  vir- 
tues of  neatness  and  precision  in  work,  of  careful  observa- 
tion, and  of  combining  the  work  of  the  hand  with  that  of  the 
brain.  It  is  only  those  who  handle  the  raw  materials  and  build 
up  with  them  who  can  ever  really  comprehend  the  struc- 
ture. Students  majoring  in  this  department  have  used  the 
preparation  so  obtained  for  teaching,  study  of  medicine,  busi- 
ness, work  in  experiment  stations,  or  have  become  chemists  in 
manufacturing  plants,  etc.  No  subject  has  a  wider  range  of 
usefulness  than  chemistry  and  in  no  other  is  the  expansion 
more  rapid  or  the  demand  for  qualified  men  and  women  so 
great. 

The  work  of  the  department  is  begun  by  a  class-room  course 
in  general  chemistry,  supplemented  by  considerable  laboratory 
work,  extending  through  the  freshman  year.  In  the  second 
year  is  given  a  course  in  qualitative  analysis  followed  by  a  be- 
ginning course  in  quantitative  analysis,  giving  an  idea  of  the 
fundamental  operations  of  both  volumetric  and  gravimetric 
analysis.  In  the  last  semester  of  the  second  year  is  given  an 
elementary  course  in  organic  chemistry,  with  class-room  and 
laboratory  practice.  The  third  year  the  student  takes  a  course 
of  lectures  throughout  the  year  in  the  fundamentals  of  physical 
chemistry,  this  being  supplemented  in  the  spring  semester  by  a 
laboratory  course  giving  training  in  molecular  weight  deter- 
minations by  the  various  methods,  in  the  use  of  such  instru- 
ments as  the  polariscope,  refractometer,  conductivity  apparatus, 
etc.  These  courses  are  the  foundation  of  the  training  in  chem- 
istry. The  choice  of  further  courses  depends  on  the  student's 
preference  and  on  the  work  in  which  he  expects  to  be  engaged 
after  leaving  the  University.  Advanced  courses  in  analytical, 
organic,  physical,  industrial,  metallurgical,  and  biological  chem- 
istry are  among  those  open  to  his  selection.  A  complete  list  of 
these  courses  is  printed  in  the  university  catalog.  The  work 
is  thus  seen  to  be  so  planned  as  to  give  him  his  fundamental 
knowledge  in  so  far  as  possible  in  the  first  three  years  of  his 
course   and   to  leave  to  a  part   of  the  third  and  much  of  the 


DKPARTMKNTS  35 


fourth  a  considerable  freedom  of  choice  of  subjects  and  to 
allow  time  for  his  thesis  work.  This  last,  though  not  expected 
to  be  of  entirely  original  character,  is  chosen  so  as  to  give  the 
student  an  insight  into  the  methods  of  chemical  research  and 
help  him  in  applying  his  theoretical  knowledge  to  actual  prob- 
lems. Other  subjects  customarily  taken  by  those  majoring  in 
Chemistry  are  German,  mathematics,  physics,  English  and 
United  States  history.  This  still  leaves  a  considerable  number 
of  the  hours  required  for  graduation  open  to  the  free  choice  of 
the  student. 

The  department  offers  graduate  courses  to  those  who  have 
received  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  or  Bachelor  of  Science  degrees. 
The  work  taken  is  generally  along  lines  in  which  the  student 
is  most  interested,  but  he  is  required  to  round  out  as  far  as 
possible  any  deficiencies  of  training  he  may  have  had  in  his 
undergraduate  work.  One  or  two  minors  are  customarily  taken 
in  physics,  mathematics,  biology,  or  education.  Under  special 
circumstances  a  minor  may  be  taken  in  other  departments.  An 
important  part  of  such  a  graduate  course  is  the  investigation, 
under  careful  direction,  of  some  problem  involving  new  work 
and  giving  training  in  research  methods. 

Alpha  Chi  Sigma,  a  professional  chemical  fraternity,  has  a 
■chapter  at  the  University.  The  membership  is  elective,  but  such 
meetings  of  the  society  as  are  of  general  interest  are  open 
to  other  students  and  afford  a  means  by  which  they  keep  up 
their  personal  interest  in  things  chemical. 

Economics  and  Sociology 

The  object  of  the  department  is  to  offer  opportunity  for  the 
systematic  and  thorough  study  of  certain  branches  of  the  social 
sciences.  The  gradation  and  arrangement  of  the  courses  are 
such  as  to  meet  the  needs  of  students  in  the  various  stages  of 
their  progress,  from  the  elementary  to  the  more  advanced. 
The  scope  of  the  work  in  this  department  is  virtually  enlarged 
by  a  number  of  related  courses  offered  in  the  departments  of 
lrstory  and  philosophy. 

The  department  constantly  seeks  to  foster  independence  of 
thought  and  speech  by  students,  on  all  economic,  political,  and 
social  matters.  While  care  is  taken  fairly  to  present  all  intel- 
ligent views  on  questions  of  broad  social  aims  and  policies,  the 


COLLEGE    OF     ARTS     AND    SCIENCES 


purpose  in  all  the  courses  is  positive  rather  than  negative, — is 
to  form,  if  possible,  a  consensus  as  to  the  true  principles  under- 
lying social  phenomena,  and,  in  the  applied  phases  of  the  sub- 
jects, to  trace  the  lines  and  limits  of  sound  social  policy.  The 
progressive  and  relative  characteristics  of  society  and  the 
dynamic  aspects  of  the  study  are  strongly  emphasized. 

Effort  has  been  made,  in  the  arrangement  and  scope  of  the 
courses,  to  enable  students  majoring  in  this  department  to 
cover  a  wide  and  varie  1  range  of  subjects.  The  university 
library  is  provided  with  a  large  and  well  selected  collection  of 
economic,  political,  and  sociological  literature,  as  well  as  com- 
plete sets  of  the  most  important  magazines  relating  to  the  sub- 
jects, and  as  a  government  depository  receives  the  numerous 
and  increasingly  important  documents  and  bulletins  issued  by 
the  national  government.  Consequertly  the  library  affords 
good  facilities  for  the  prosecution  of  research  and  investigation 
in  the  social  fields.  Students  who  are  candidates  for  the  mas- 
ter's degree  and  who  may  desire  to  major  in  the  work  of  this 
department  will  find  courses  arranged  suited  to  their  needs. 
The  detailed  requirements  concerning  the  master's  degree  may 
be  found  in  this  bulletin. 

Education 

The  department  has  a  good  working  library  of  the  best  books, 
on  educational  subjects,  over  a  hundred  having  been  added  dur- 
ing the  present  year. 

This  library  contains  abundant  material  for  collateral  reading 
and  provides  a  basis  for  investigation  of  special  subjects.  To 
provide  further  material  for  comparison  and  research  the  fol- 
lowing reports  are  being  collected  : 

i.  The  revised  school  laws  of  the  various  states  and  the 
reports  of  the  state  superintendents. 

2.  The  school  reports  of  the  largest  cities  in  the  country  and 
of  representative  smaller  cities. 

3.  The  reports  of  city  schools  of  Maine  and  also,  as  far  as- 
possible,  of  the  towns  in  Maine. 

Students  planning  to  take  courses  in  education  should  first: 
tske  a  course  in  general  biology  and  one  in  general  psychology. 
The  work  in  education  may  be  taken  to  the  best  advantage  in:

3$  COLLEGE    OF    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 

the  junior  and  senior  years  of  the  college  course,  after  the 
student  has  selected  his  major  subject  and  has  laid  the  founda- 
tion upon  which  to  build  his  professional  training. 

The  courses  in  education  are  intended  for  three  classes  of 
students :  ( I )  for  those  who  have  already  had  experience  in 
teaching  and  who  wish  to  fit  themselves  for  the  work  of  super- 
intendent or  principal;  (2)  for  those  who  plan  to  teach  special 
subjects  in  secondary  schools;  (3)  for  the  general  student  who 
may  wish  to  know  something  about  the  subject  of  education  or 
who  studies  it  for  its  cultural  value. 

The  basal  course  for  all  is  that  in  history  of  education  and  it 
should  be  the  first  course  taken.  It  would  seem  advisable  for 
the  first  class  of  students  to  major  in  Education,  taking  all  the 
courses  offered,  together  with  work  in  psychology  and  in  soci- 
ology. Such  students  should  also  choose  one  or  two  subjects 
taught  in  high  schools  for  special  study  of  methods.  The 
course  in  educational  administration  and  supervision  is  especial- 
ly designed  to  give  the  prospective  superintendent  an  insight 
into  problems  of  administration  and  supervision  and  a  com- 
parative view  of  the  educational  problems  and  methods  in  other 
countries.  Opportunity  will  be  given  for  the  investigation  and 
study  of  special  problems  in  school  work. 

Those  who  are  preparing  to  teach  special  subjects  in  second- 
ary schools  should  take  the  courses  in  history  of  education,  in 
principles  of  education,  and  in  methods,  and  that  in  child  study 
if  possible.  These  should  give  the  student  a  knowledge  of  the 
present  aims  of  education  and  of  their  origin,  the  fundamental 
principles  underlying  education,  and  the  principles  of  method, 
both  general  and  those  applying  to  the  particular  subjects  to 
be  taught.  The  course  in  methods  will,  at  present,  also  include 
work  in  class  and  school  management.  There  will  be  oppor- 
tunities for  observation  of  classes  in  the  grammar  grades  of  the 
Orono  schools  and  also  in  the  Orono  high  school1. 

For  the  general  student  the  courses  which  seem  most  valua- 
ble are  those  in  history  of  education,  in  principles  of  education, 
and  in  child  study. 

Beginning  with  January,  19 13,  a  course  in  educational  psy- 
chology will  be  offered.  This  will  not  be  a  duplication  of  any 
course  now  given  in  the  department  of  philosophy,  but  will  be 
concerned   mainly  with  the  application  of  psychology   to  edu-

cation.  It  is  intended  as  an  introductory  course  to  the  study 
of  education  and  may  profitably  be  taken  in  the  spring  semes- 
ter of  the  sophomore  year. 

Plans  are  now  being  made  for  a  regular  teachers'  training 
course  leading  to  a  special  certificate  of  some  kind.  This  will 
include  certain  courses  in  education  together  with  observation 
and  practice  in  teaching.  Through  an  arrangement  with  the 
superintending  school  committee  opportunity  for  practice  teach- 
ing will  be  offered  in  the  local  high  school.  This  work  will  be 
continuous  for  a  half  year  in  certain  subjects  and  will  form  a 
part  of  the  regular  work  in  education  for  which  credit  will  be 
given.  In  connection  with  the  practice  teaching,  a  special  course 
in  methods  will  be  offered  and  the  work  of  the  student  will  be 
supervised  by  the  department  of  education  and  by  the  student's 
major  instructor. 

An  increasing  number  of  our  graduates  are  taking  up  the 
work  of  teaching.  Frequent  requests  are  coming  in  from 
boards  of  education,  school  committees,  and  superintendents, 
for  the  recommendation  of  graduates  suitable  for  positions 
in  high  schools  and  academies.  The  same  information  is 
often  desired  by  college  and  university  authorities.  In  order 
to  be  in  a  better  position  to  meet  these  demands  there  is 
in  process  of  preparation  a  card  catalog  of  the  recent  gradu- 
ates who  are  now  teaching  or  who  wish  to  teach  and  also 
of  the  prospective  graduates,  the  members  of  the  senior  class 
who  are  planning  to  teach.  It  is  the  intention  of  those  in  charge 
of  the  work  to  collect  all  data  regarding  the  academic  and  pro- 
fessional qualifications  of  these  graduates  which  would  be  help- 
ful to  the  appointment  committee  in  placing  persons  in  suit- 
able positions. 

It  is  hoped  that  graduates  wishing  positions  and  school  au- 
thorities in  search  of  teachers  will  cooperate  with  the  committee 
and  make  known  their  needs  in  order  that  the  work  of  the  com- 
mittee may  be  as  helpful  as  possible. 

Encush 

This    department   occupies    Estabrooke    Hall.      The    building 

contains  three  large  lecture  rooms,  two  smaller  ones,  an  office, 

three  conference   rooms,  and   a  reference   room.     Two  lecture 

rooms  are  wired  for  an  electric  lantern.     The  seminar  room  is 


40  COLLEGE    OE    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 

located  in  the  library,  and  contains  special  collections  of  such 
reserved  books  as  may  be  needed  by  major  and  graduate  stu- 
dents. The  library  is  also  supplied  with  all  the  important  Eng- 
lish dictionaries  and  reference  books,  the  most  needed  works 
of  English  literature,  and  considerable  critical  apparatus.  The 
Shakspere,  the  history  of  the  drama,  and  the  prose  fiction 
collections  are  particularly  large  and  fairly  up-to-date.  The 
library  is  also  well  provided  with  such  statistics  and  books  as 
are  usually  needed  in  courses  in  argumentation  and  debate. 
For  purposes  of  illustration,  the  department  has  an  electric 
lantern  and  about  300  slides ;  also  maps  and  charts. 

The  courses  afford  instruction  in  practically  all  phases  of 
English.  For  convenience,  they  are  grouped  under  composition, 
public  speaking,  and  language  and  literature. 

In  composition  five  courses  are  offered.  This  subject  may 
be  taken  for  three  years  and  a  half.  In  the  freshman  year  the 
course  consists  in  oral  and  written  composition,  with  emphasis 
upon  correctness  and  clearness.  In  the  sophomore  year  a  choice 
is  possible  between  a  course  in  exposition  and  argumentation, 
and  one  that  combines  composition  with  the  study  of  literature. 
The  course  not  chosen  in  the  sophomore  year  may  be  taken  in 
the  junior  year.  In  the  fall  semester  of  the  junior  and  senior 
years  there  is  a  course  affording  general  practice  in  writing, 
and  aiming  to  cultivate  clearness,  elegance,  and  individuality 
of  style. 

It  is  possible  to  obtain  three  years'  practice  in  newspaper 
writing,  and  at  the  same  time  earn  considerable  money  by  regu- 
larly reporting  for  various  newspapers  of  the  state.  Through- 
out all  the  composition  work  the  first  endeavor  of  the  depart- 
ment is  to  train  the  student  so  to  relate  his  work  to  his  other 
studies  and  to  life  as  to  be  mentally  alert  and  thus  have  some- 
thing worthy  to  say.  It  is  also  the  aim  to  make  all  criticism  as 
constructive  and  as  sympathetic  as  possible.  Conferences  are 
held  at  regular  intervals  with  the  individual  student. 

In  public  speaking,  four  courses  are  offered.  This  subject 
may  be  taken  for  three  years.  The  first  course  is  the  usual 
work  in  elocution,  including  individual  drill  and  the  recitation 
of  selections,  mostly  chosen  from  the  great  orators.  There  is  a 
rigid  course  in  debating;  a  half  year  course  in  the  writing  and 
delivery   of   speeches    for  various    occasions;    and   a   half  year 


DEPARTMENTS  41 

course  in  advanced  reading.  The  aim  throughout  is  to  cultivate 
ease  and  effectiveness  in  oral  expression.  This  work  may  be 
supplemented  by  participation  in  the  debating  societies  of  the 
freshman  and  sophomore  classes,  in  public  contests  for  prizes, 
and  in  the  plays  given  annually  by  the  student  dramatic  organ- 
izations. 

In  language  and  literature,  eighteen  courses  are  offered  for 
undergraduates  and  seven  additional  courses  primarily  for 
graduate  students.  The  objects  sought  are  chiefly  as  follows: 
a  comprehensive  knowledge  of  the  historical  development  of 
English  literature;  an  intimate  and  sympathetic  acquaintance 
with  the  most  important  periods,  types,  and  authors ;  an  under- 
standing of  the  fundamental  principles  of  criticism ;  and  a 
knowledge  of  the  history  of  the  language.  The  aim  through- 
out all  the  courses  is  to  make  the  study  of  literature  the  highest 
intellectual  pleasure  and  to  furnish  such  critical  methods  as 
give  independence  of  taste  and  judgment. 

The  historical  courses  are  both  general  and  specific.  In  both, 
h  wever,  as  much  of  the  literature  itself  as  is  possible  is  read. 
The  history  of  English  literature  covers  the  wnole  field  and 
serves  as  an  introduction  to  all  other  courses.  The  history  of 
prose  fiction  and  of  the  drama  are  more  intensive  studies  of 
special  forms  of  literature. 

The  study  of  an  entire  period  completely  in  undergraduate 
work  presents  some  practical  difficulties.  These  are  met,  how- 
ever, by  dividing  the  work  into  several  courses,  as,  for  instance, 
the  1 6th  century  is  represented  by  courses  in  Shakspere,  in 
Elizabethan  prose,  in  Elizabethan  poetry  exclusive  of  the  drama, 
and  in  Elizabethan  drama  exclusive  of  Shakspere.  These  when 
completed,  as  they  may  be  in  two  years,  give  an  introduction 
to  this  method  of  study  and  a  fairly  broad  and  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  the  literature.  There  are  three  courses  devoted  to  in- 
dividual authors,  Shakspere,  Tennyson,  and  Robert  Brown- 
ing. Two  courses  take  up  the  study  of  the  Romantic  movement 
in  English  poetry  during  the  18th  and  early  19th  centuries. 
Two  courses  deal  with  the  great  prose  writers  of  the  18th  and 
19th  centuries.  In  connection  with  these  courses,  particularly 
the  die  which  deals  with  the  19th  century  writers,  much  is  made 
of  the  perception  and  appreciation  of  the  qualities  of  modern 
prose  style. 


42  COLLEGE  OE  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES 

There  are  two  courses  in  Old  English  or  Anglo-Saxon,  and 
two  in  Middle  English.  While  these  courses  are  primarily  for 
linguistic  study,  they  include  literature  of  great  importance  and 
interest,  such  as  the  Beowulf  and  the  Canterbury  Tales,  and  the 
literary  element  is  by  no  means  ignored.  The  history  of  the  lan- 
guage is  studied  and  an  insight  into  historical  English  grammar 
obtained.  This  work  is  indispensable  for  those  expecting  to 
teach  English. 

The  work  for  graduate  students  varies  somewhat  according 
to  the  needs  of  those  in  attendance.  It  is  possible  to  begin  Old 
English  or  to  continue  the  undergraduate  work  in  this  subject 
and  read  considerable  portions  of  the  literature  from  the  7th  to 
the  nth  centuries.  Special  studies  of  the  periods  I7oo-i77oand 
1 830- 1900  are  also  offered.  A  course  in  poetics  and  prosody 
takes  up  the  technical  study  of  poetic  forms  and  metres.  The 
library  is  particularly  well  equipped  for  the  historical  study  of 
the  drama.  At  least  one  seminar  course  is  required  of  all  grad- 
uate students;  the  subject  pursued  varies  from  year  to  year. 

In  general  the  department  endeavors  to  familiarize  the  grad- 
uate student  with  the  critical  apparatus  of  the  subject,  to  instill 
sonnet  literary  and  scholastic  methods,  to  encourage  the  inten- 
sive study  of  some  one  definitely  limited  subject,  and  to 
strengthen  the  weak  points  of  the  individual. 

German 

The  German  department  offers  courses  to  fit  the  needs  of 
those  who  seek  only  the  minimum  requirement  for  practical 
use  and  those  who  desire  to  continue  the  study  of  the  language 
and  literature.  The  work  is  carried  on  by  a  corps  of  three' 
teachers  and  it  is  possible  for  the  student  to  study  translation, 
grammar,  and  composition,  for  four  successive  years;  in  addi- 
tion, lecture  courses  are  offered  on  the  history  of  the  drama, 
the  novel,  and  the  general  literature ;  two  courses  in  conversa- 
tion, one  elementary  and  the  other  advanced,  provide  the  neces- 
sary facilities  for  the  acquisition  of  a  speaking  knowledge  of 
German,  while  courses  in  Gothic,  Old  High  German,  and  Mid- 
dle High  German,  form  the  basis  of  advanced  work  for  a  sec- 
ond degree. 

The  department  is  reinforced  by  an  unusually  large 'and  well 
selected  library  of  German  books,  which  includes  many  lexicons,

histories  of  the  literature,  philological  works,  biographies,  and 
a  most  valuable  collection  of  the  best  writings  of  the  best  au- 
thors both  in  prose  and  poetry. 

The  Deutscher  Verein,  an  organization  of  the  students,  in 
which  also  members  of  the  faculty  have  an  active  participation, 
supplements  the  work  of  the  department  and  stimulates  inter- 
est as  well  as  growth  in  all  matters  that  pertain  to  the  particu- 
lar field  of  Germanics. 

Greek  and  Classical  Archaeology 

It  has  been  necessary  for  the  departments  of  Greek  in  our 
New  England  colleges  to  adapt  the  work  to  the  changing  con- 
ditions that  confront  classical  studies  in  our  preparatory  schools. 
The  fact  that  the  B.  A.  degree  is  granted  without  any  require- 
ment in  Greek  has  had  the  obvious  result  of  throwing  this  study 
not  only  into  the  background  but  in  a  large  number  of  our  fit- 
ting schools  in  Maine  entirely  out  of  the  course  of  study. 

As  a  result  of  this  tendency  to  provide  no  opportunity  for 
the  study  of  Greek  in  the  fitting  schools,  there  has  come  about 
a  pretty  general  plan  of  offering  courses  in  preparatory  Greek 
in  college  as  on  a  par  with  beginning  language  work  in  other 
departments.  Another  step  of  perhaps  more  signficance  for 
the  real  worth  of  Greek  culture  has  been  the  introduction 
of  courses  in  the  study  of  Greek  literature  in  English  transla- 
tion with  the  idea  of  reaching  the  large  class  of  students  who 
have  no  desire  for  the  language  element  but  who  recognize  the 
permanent  values  in  the  masterpieces  of  Greek  literature  and 
who  are  willing  to  devote  a  semester  or  two  to  some  of  the 
great  chapters  in  poetry,  history,  philosophy,  and  oratory. 

Allied  with  these  changes  in  the  one-time  Greek  course  in  our 
catalogs  is  another  feature  that  is  not  of  less  importance  for 
the  broadening  and  humanizing  influence  and  which  is  also 
within  the  scope  and  reach  of  students  not  acquainted  with  the 
Greek  language,  namely,  the  study  of  Greek  fine  arts.  The 
study  of  the  Greek  mind  and  the  aesthetic  side  of  the  ancient 
Greek,  together  with  his  quest  for  truth  and  beauty  are  funda- 
mentals in  a  liberal  education,  and  the  open  book  of  Greek- 
architecture,,  sculpture,  and  other  arts,  is  surrounded  by  no  mys- 
tery of  a  spoken  tongue. 


DEPARTMENTS  45 

The  department  of  Greek  at  the  University  of  Maine  has 
developed  along  the  lines  above  indicated  and  in  the  literature 
and  fine  arts  the  purpose  is  to  correlate  the  civilization  of  the 
ancient  Greeks  with  that  of  later  European  nations,  thus  mak- 
ing the  courses  largely  comparative  and  consequently  supple- 
mentary to  much  that  the  departments  of  Latin,  history,  and 
modern  languages  offer. 

The  illustrative  material  in  the  form  of  lantern  slides,  pho- 
tographs, and  prints  numbers  about  1500  reproductions  for 
Greek  subjects  and  the  allied  work  in  the  history  of  architec- 
ture, painting,  and  sculpture  of  Europe  is  represented  by  some 
1900  additional  reproductions.  The  seminar  room  adjoining 
the  commodious  lecture  room  in  the  library  contains  this  equip- 
ment as  well  as  a  full  supply  of  wall  maps.  The  stereopticon 
used  jointly  by  the  departments  of  Greek  and  Latin  is  located 
in  the  Latin  room  in  Wingate  Hall. 

History 

With  the  increasing  appreciation  of  the  value  of  a  knowl- 
edge of  history  as  a  preparation  for  citizenship  there  is  a 
marked  tendency  in  the  United  States  to  emphasize  the  study 
of  our  own  national  history  and  the  modern  period  of  European 
nations. 

It  is  in  accordance  with  this  view  of  history  that  the  courses 
have  been  planned  and  the  more  recent  additions  to  the  library 
have  been  made. 

The  departmental  library  is  well  supplied  for  the  courses 
offered  and  in  addition  to  the  books,  etc.,  which  are,  primarily, 
of  a  historical  character,  the  department  has  the  use  of  other 
valuable  material  from  the  Colleges  of  Agriculture  and  Tech- 
nology for  the  study  of  social  and  industrial  history. 

The  instruction  given  is  almost  wholly  of  collegiate  grade. 
Some  graduate  work  leading  to  the  master's  degree  is  given 
each  year.  The  equipment  for  advanced  study  along  several 
special  lines  is  excellent  and  these  graduate  courses  are  being 
made  a  special  part  of  the  work  of  the  summer  term. 

The  undergraduate  courses  for  students  in  this  college  fall 
into  two  groups.  In  the  first  are  those  of  a  general  character 
to  be  taken  as  a  basis  for  more  advanced  study  or  as  supple- 
mentary to   work   done   in   other   departments,   and   consist  of 


46  COLLEGK     OF     ARTS     AND     SCIENCES 

Greek  history,  given  in  the  Greek  department,  Roman  history,, 
given  in  the  Latin  department,  mediaeval  and  modern  history, 
English  history,  and  United  States  history.  The  advanced 
courses  meet  the  needs  of  those  preparing  for  the  teaching  of 
history  or  for  further  advanced  study  and  research. 

Latin 

The  college  takes  up  the  work  in  Latin  where  the  high  school 
leaves  off.  Some  facility  is  presumed  in  reading  easy  selec- 
tions and  some  knowledge  of  the  general  principles  of  grammar. 

The  college  courses  of  the  freshman  and  sophomore  years 
are  planned  to  give  the  student  a  wider  acquaintance  with  the 
best  authors  and  with  the  distinctive  periods  of  Latin  literature, 
and  also  to  continue  the  study  of  the  language.  With  these 
ends  in  view  the  freshmen  read  Livy,  Cicero,  and  Horace,  as 
the  best  representatives  of  the  best  period  of  the  literature,  and 
review  systematically  the  syntax  of  Latin  with  more  regard  to 
the  rationale  of  grammar  than  the  high  school  can  offer.  In 
the  sophomore  year  the  pre-Ciceronian  and  post-Augustan 
periods  of  the  literature  are  studied  through  Terence  and 
Plautus,  and  Tacitus,  and  a  more  advanced  course  in  composi- 
tion and  rhetoric  is  offered. 

The  work  of  the  two  last  years  is  adapted  to  students  who 
select  Latin  as  their  major  subject.  Especial  attention  is  given 
to  the  needs  of  those  who  intend  to  teach.  The  courses  are 
arranged  by  topics,  as  philosophy,  literature,  satire,  oratory, 
history,  language,  numismatics,  etc.,  and  are  given  in  alternate 
years.    This  affords  a  wide  range  of  election  for  the  student. 

The  university  library  has  a  good  supply  of  classical  periodi- 
cals and  books,  and  buys  from  year  to  year  the  principal  works 
of  interest  as  they  appear.  The  department  has  a  good  selec- 
tion of  wall  maps  and  some  pictures.  It  also  has  access  to  a 
very  representative  collection  of  Roman  coins  of  about  800 
specimens. 

Mathematics  and  Astronomy 

All  work  in  this  department  is  elective  in  the  College  of  Arts 
and   Sciences.      Freshmen   offering  solid  geometry   will  usually 


DEPARTMENTS  47 

take  algebra  and  plane  trigonometry  (hiring  the  first  semester; 
analytic  geometry  the  second  semester.  The  second  year's  work 
is  a  very  thorough  course  in  differential  and  integral  calculus. 
For  students  not  presenting  solid  geometry  for  admission  there 
is  a  first  year  course  comprising  plane  trigonometry,  algebra, 
and  solid  geometry.  This  may  be  followed  by  a  two  hour 
course  in  analytic  geometry  and  calculus  during  the  second 
year;  or  students  may,  by  taking  both  solid  geometry  and  ana- 
lytic geometry,  during  the  second  semester  of  the  first  year, 
prepare  for  the  full  course  in  calculus  of  the  second  year. 
Other  elective  undergraduate  courses  are  spherical  trigonome- 
try, theory  of  equations,  advanced  plane  and  solid  analytic 
geometry,  advanced  calculus,  and  differential  equations. 
Courses  in  mechanics,  surveying,  descriptive  geometry,  least 
squares,  and  mathematical  physics  may  also  be  elected  from 
other  departments.  The  undergraduate  courses  in  astronomy 
are  a  half  year  three  hour  course  in  descriptive  astronomy,  and 
a  similar  course  in  practical  astronomy.  An  advanced  course  in 
practical  astronomy  and  one  in  the  theory  of  orbits  are  given 
when  called  for. 

Courses  will  be  given  as  they  may  be  demanded  in  the  theory 
of  functions  of  a  complex  variable,  theory  of  functions  of  a 
real  variable,  potential  functions,  and  celestial  mechanics.  Sev- 
eral of  the  courses  mentioned  as  undergraduate  work  may 
under  certain  conditions  be  taken  as  graduate  courses.  Ad- 
vanced courses  in  the  departments  of  physics  and  mechanics 
are  also  open  to  candidates  for  the  master's  degree  in  mathe- 
matics. 

In  addition  to  slated  globes,  simple  models,  and  stereoscopic 
views  for  teaching  elementary  solid  geometry,  the  department 
is  supplied  with  a  small  but  carefully  selected  set  of  cardboard, 
plaster,  and  thread  models  by  Brill;  also  a  celestial  globe,  stand- 
ard maps,  a  good  collection  of  lantern  slides,  photographs,  and 
drawings  of  celestial  objects.  The  books  in  the  mathematics 
and  astronomy  sections  of  the  university  library  have  been  so 
selected  as  to  cover  the  field  of  elementary  mathematics,  college 
mathematics,  and  the  beginnings  of  graduate  work.  They  in- 
clude the  most  available  works  upon  the  history  and  teaching 
of  mathematics  and  of  astronomy;  also  numerous  popular 
treatises  upon  the  latter  subject.     The  valuable  private  mathe- 


48  COLLEGE    OF    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 


mat'.cal  library  of  President  Aley  has  been  loaned  to  the  library 
and  is  open  to  students.  The  astronomical  observatory  is 
ipped  with  an  eight-inch  Clark  equatorial,  a  Bamberg  com- 
bined transit  instrument  and  zenith  telescope,  a  Repsold  ver- 
tical circle,  theodolites,  sextants,  and  chronometers. 

The  department  has  in  Alumni  Hall  an  office  and  two  large 
recitation  rooms,  exceptionally  well  supplied  with  blackboards. 
Classes  not  accommodated  here  meet  in  some  one  of  the  engi- 
neering buildings. 

Philosophy 

1  he  general  purpose  of  the  department  of  philosophy  is  to 
teach  students  to  think.  Of  course  every  study — science,  lan- 
guage, history,  or  other  study — teaches  the  student  to  think  in 
its  particular  field.  But  each  of  these  particular  studies,  as 
likewise  the  thinking  which  we  do  in  every  day  life,  takes  a 
great  many  things  for  granted  without  inquiring  into  them. 
Philosophy  leads  the  student  to  inquire  into  these  assumptions 
which  are  ordinarily  taken  for  granted.  Any  subject  is  not 
thought  out  completely  until  it  is  thought  into  metaphysics. 

For  the  purpose  of  leading  students  to  think,  elaborate  ap- 
paratus is  not  necessary.  In  the  study  of  consciousness  itself 
(psychology),  in  discovering  how  we  acquire  knowledge  of  the 
external  world,  how  the  mind  is  related  to  the  body,  and  such 
matters,  psychological  apparatus  is  invaluable.  But  the  elabor- 
ate apparatus  can  be  used  only  by  advanced  students  and  in- 
vestigators. The  department  has  about  $400  worth  of  appa- 
ratus, which  is  sufficient  for  its  present  needs. 

An  important  part  of  the  equipment  in  philosophy  is 
the  library.  The  department  has  an  excellent  beginning  of 
a  philosophical  library,  and  is  improving  it  every  year  by  the 
addition  of  a  number  of  the  great  philosophical  works,  both 
contemporary  and  historical.  The  library  contains  400  volumes 
in  philosophy  alone  (not  including  periodicals),  120  bound 
volumes  of  periodicals,  and  nine  current  periodicals.  To  this 
must  be  added  hundreds  of  philosophical  works'  classed  in  other 
departments  of  the  library.  The  private  philosophical  library 
of  the  head  of  the  department  contains  two  current  periodicals 
and   120  volumes  which  are  not  duplicates  of  those  m  the  uni- 


A  Campus  View 


50  COLLEGE    OE    ARTS    AND    SCIENCES 

versity  library  and  which  are  available  for  college  use.  The 
large  and  excellent  library  of  the  Bangor  Theological  Seminary 
which  is  generously  thrown  open  to  the  public,  is  accessible. 

Even  the  library,  however,  is  not  the  most  important  factor 
in  philosophical  training.  The  one  essential  is  a  body  of  keen 
young  minds  who  come  together  with  a  good  store  of  accumu- 
lated knowledge,  with  zeal  and  industry  in  acquiring  new 
knowledge,  with  a  readiness  to  study  difficult  books  and  to 
make  careful  observations  of  their  own  experiences,  and  with  a 
spirit  of  democratic  discussion   and   debate. 

The  philosophical  subjects  which  are  thus  learned  and  dis- 
cussed and  debated,  may  be  summed  up  under  the  following 
five  heads  : 

Psychology,  or  the  study  of  consciousness  in  all  its  aspects — 
.sensation,  intellect,  emotion,  instinct,  will.  This  study  was  for- 
merly known  as  mental  philosophy,  and  was  at  one  time  a 
rather  abstract  subject  not  very  intimately  and  practically  con- 
nected with  daily  life.  But  now  psychology  is  taught  as  a 
natural  science,  the  natural  history  of  mind,  and  as  such  it  is 
made  practically  useful  to  the  business  man,  the  lawyer,  the 
physician,  the  teacher,  the  student,  and  indeed  to  everyone  who 
thinks. 

Logic,  or  the  study  of  correct  reasoning.  This  deals  both  with 
abstract  reasoning  such  as  that  of  mathematics,  and  with  con- 
crete reasoning  such  as  that  of  physical  science  and  practical 
life. 

Ethics,  or  moral  philosophy.  The  study  of  ethics  is  not  nec- 
essary to  teach  the  student  rules  of  conduct,  for  these  he  has 
generally  learned  already.  The  study  of  ethics  is  very  neces- 
sary, however,  to  lead  the  student  to  think  scientifically  about 
such  matters,  and  to  prepare  him  to  deal  with  the  ethical  con- 
troversies and  new  ideas  (good  and  bad)  which  will  surely  be 
brought  to  him  in  later  life. 

Metaphysics  and  Cosmology.  As  has  been  said  before,  no 
subject  is  thought  to  completion  until  it  is  thought  into  meta- 
physics. This  study,  in  which  one  is  led  to  think  about  the  very 
nature  of  the  universe,  is  the  culmination  of  philosophy  as  it 
is  of  all  thought. 

History  and  Philosophy.  In  this  study  the  four  others  which 
have  been   mentioned   are  all   brought  together   and   illustrated 


DEPARTMENTS  5 1 

in  the  very  heart  of  human  life.  The  lives  of  the  great  philoso- 
phers, from  Aristotle  (and  his  predecessors)  down  to  the  pres- 
ent day,  are  read,  and  their  philosophies  are  studied  in  their 
■connection  with  the  historical  conditions  of  humanity. 

Physics 

While  much  of  the  work  in  the  department  of  Physics  is  de- 
signed to  meet  the  needs  of  the  general  student,  the  courses 
may  be  so  arranged  as  to  give  a  broad  training  to  one  who 
wishes  to  do  special  work  in  this  subject.  If  the  student  is 
intending  to  fit  himself  for  a  science  teacher  in  a  secondary 
school,  he  has  choice  of  a  large  number  of  courses  which  bear 
directly  upon  this  work. 

In  Physics  4,  which  is  a  non-mathematical  course,  especial 
attention  is  paid  to  the  historical  and  experimental  aspects  of 
the  subject,  and  the  whole  field  of  general  physics  is  briefly 
reviewed  in  one  semester.  Another  course  which  is  well 
adapted  to  meet  the  needs  of  teachers  is  Physics  3.  Here  the 
student  is  given  an  opportunity  to  perform  the  various  qualita- 
tive experiments  which  are  used  in  the  class-room  to  illustrate 
the  principles  laid  down  in  the  text-book.  For  students  who 
desire  to  take  the  more  mathematical  courses  offered  in  the 
department,  the  work  is  arranged  after  the  general  courses  of 
the  first  year,  so  that  emphasis  is  placed  upon  advanced  work 
in  heat,  light,  and  electricity.  For  the  advanced  work  in  me- 
chanics, opportunity  is  offered  to  students  in  the  department  of 
Mechanics  and  Drawing.  In  the  laboratory,  after  the  general 
course  which  all  students  in  the  department  are  expected  to 
take,  the  work  branches  into  special  courses  along  the  lines  of 
optics,  mechanics  and  heat,  and  electrical  measurements.  After 
these  have  been  completed,  the  student  may  elect  a  more  ad- 
vanced course  in  optics  and  in  the  spring  semester  of  the  senior 
year  may  undertake  work  which  has  the  character  of  an  origi- 
nal investigation  or  the  repetition  of  an  important  investigation 
•already  performed. 

The  department  is  well  equipped  with  apparatus,  both  for 
class  room  demonstrations  and  laboratory  work.  Each  year 
new  apparatus  is  added  with  the  view  of  strengthening  the  vari- 
ous  courses.      In   view  of  the    fact   that   mechanics,  electricity, 


52  COLLEGE    OF    ARTS     AND     SCIENCES 

and  heat  arc  further  developed  in  other  departments  along  more 
practical  lines,  the  department  of  physics  has  selected  optics  as 
that  branch  of  the  work  to  which  it  gives  especial  attention. 
Each  year  a  course  in  meteorology  is  given  by  the  department,, 
in  which  students  are  taught  the  elementary  principles  of  this 
science,  and  practice  in  making  and  interpreting  weather  maps 
is  given.  Two  courses  in  mathematical  physics  are  also  offered : 
a  course  based  upon  Mellor's  Higher  Mathematics  for  students 
in  Chemistry  and  Physics,  and  a  course  in  the  theory  of  least 
squares.  These  may  be  supplemented  by  the  courses  in  ad- 
vanced mechanics  offered  in  the  department  of  Mechanics  and 
Drawing  and  the  courses  in  advanced  mathematics  offered  in 
the  department  of  Mathematics. 

The  department  of  Physics  occupies  eleven  rooms,  including 
three  large  laboratories,  a  recitation  room,  work  shop,  photo- 
meter room,  and  a  small  laboratory  for  optics.  The  laboratories 
are  equipped  with  direct  and  alternating  currents,  gas,  and  the 
necessary  conveniences  belonging  to  a  laboratory.  The  depart- 
ment has  a  lantern  for  illustrative  lectures,  a  well  equipped 
library,  and  subscribes  for  the  more  important  physical  maga- 
zines. 

Romance  Languages 

The  department  of  Romance  Languages  offers  instruction  in 
French,  Spanish,  and  Italian. 

There  are  six  courses  in  French,  each  extending  over  one 
year;  of  these,  three  are  designed  primarily  for  the  teaching  of 
reading,  pronunciation,  grammar,  composition,  and  rudiments 
of  conversation.  The  books,  both  for  class  and  collateral  read- 
ing, are  selected  from  among  the  masterpieces  of  French  litera- 
ture. 

To  students  wishing  to  acquire  skill  and  fluency  in  French 
conversation  two  courses  are  offered :  the  one,  elementary,  and 
the  other,  advanced.  The  salient  features  of  the  elementary 
course  are  rapid  oral  translation  from  English  into  French ; 
conversation  based  upon  a  text-book  dealing  systematically  with 
daily  life,  the  every-day  realities,  in  France;  and  conversation 
based  upon  a  text-book  containing  incidents  relating  to  French' 
history  and  literature.  In  the  advanced  course,  the  translation 
from  English   into  French   is  practically  omitted,  and  the  con-

versation  is  based  upon  a  text  on  the  history  of  civilization  and 
one  on  the  history  of  literature  in  France,  and  on  short  stories 
by  the  best  French  writers.  Only  such  students  as  are  familiar 
with  the  elements  of  grammar,  and  are  willing  to  do  the  work 
and  subject  themselves  to  the  drill  necessary  for  the  acquisition 
of  the  correct  and  fluent  usage  of  spoken  French,  are  able  to 
keep  up  with  the  standard  set  in  these  two  courses. 

An  introductory  course  in  French  literature  is  given,  covering 
the  modern  epoch,  special  emphasis  being  laid  upon  the  seven- 
teenth century  literature.  Extensive  and  systematic  collateral 
reading  is  done  by  the  class,  and  a  report  on  each  book  that  is 
read  is  required. 

More  advanced  courses  in  French  literature  are  occasionally 
offered ;  they  deal  with  the  literature  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
and  with  that  of  the  nineteenth  century. 

There  are  two  courses  in  Spanish  and  one  in  Italian.  The 
methods  and  aims  are  similar  to  those  in  the  courses  in  the 
French   language. 

Military  Science  and  Tactics 

Military  instruction  is  required  by  law.  The  department  is 
in  charge  of  an  officer  of  the  United  States  army,  detailed  by 
the  President  of  the  United  States  for  this  purpose.  United 
States  army  rifles,  ammunition,  and  accoutrements  are  fur- 
nished by  the  War  Department.  The  course  is  intended  to 
prepare  students  for  the  duties  of  company  officers  of  volun- 
teers or  militia.  They  are  organized  into  a  battalion  of  four 
companies,  officered  by  cadets  selected  for  character,  soldierly 
bearing,  and  military  efficiency.  When  in  the  performance  of 
military  duty,  they  are  required  to  appear  in  uniform. 

The  instruction  is  mostly  practical  and  covers  the  school  of 
the  soldier,  company,  and  battalion,  in  close  and  extended  order, 
instruction  in  small  arms  firing,  guard  duty,  field  service  regu- 
lations, and  company  administration.  Military  drill  is  required 
of  men  in  the  freshman  and  sophomore  years,  and  is  elective 
for  juniors  and  seniors.

Physical  Training 

Physical  training  is  required  of  men  in  the  freshman  class 
two  hours  per  week.  Credit  is  given  on  the  basis  of  three  hours 
of  physical  training  to  one  hour  of  recitation.  All  upper  class- 
men may  elect  this  work  and  receive  credit.  Students  registered 
on  athletic  teams  are  excused  from  prescribed  physical  training, 
but  no  credit  will  be  given  for  the  athletic  training  unless  the 
physical  training  is  taken  for  the  remainder  of  the  year.  Every 
student  registering  for  an  athletic  team  must  pass  a  physical 
examination.
